It takes commitment ...

What is truly meaningful takes time and requires commitment.
We live in a time where everything is fast, fleeting, ephemeral. And although, we understand that the world changes and no one wants ties, where are the true ties.

There is a huge void in people who complain about meaningless relationships. But, it is that to build them you have to take the time, you have to stop running away from the challenges of commitment, from what you see in the long term. The promise of "be free” does not free you, it enslaves you to fragile bonds... it applies to work, friendships and the couple.

I have thought about the topic of comparison, I feel that it does us a lot of harm when we do it in the wrong way, and what is the wrong way? When we measure ourselves against others, that's why we end up frustrated. Life always looks brighter on someone else's networks. You think from a distance that people are happier than they really are, because they upload an edited content that seeks to project happiness.

No one is happy all the time.

We can try, but if you look at the other person in the wrong way, you might convince yourself that others do have that happiness that you don't have. Is it possible not to compare? No, the truth is that we always compare ourselves and learn to value life in contrast: cold, hot, sweet, salty... But, we can learn to compare regarding what really matters: our own process.

We live in the culture of "all or nothing", and we have become accustomed to waiting for the big event, a seismic change, that noisy fact that, supposedly, will give us back the ability to smile and “things” happen and we keep seeing the glass half empty. Why? Because we have put happiness in a waiting room, conditioning it to the “Exceptional" happening. But in that waiting, life is escaping us and many have already escaped by putting it on pause and not living it intensely. That's the problem of the "arrogant" neither by hook or by crook, there is always someone more evil than one.

I would like to “fulfill” every day, so that I don't forget to celebrate life!... Precisely, life is a "moment”, try to make that time totally yours.

The important thing of this post is to make it very clear that the only way of personal comparison that is worth it is with yourself, your process, your life, your journey.

You have to be firm, without being harsh. True strength does not need cruelty. Are you feeling better today than yesterday? And as I am that yesterday, my way of processing my daily life is through commitment. Definitely, learnings that are not forever, are not learnings. Let's learn to breathe as happily and peacefully as we can...What do you guys think?
